I need a doctor in the pgh area. I have had 11 back surgeries, chronic pain and anxiety. My pcp gave me a month to find one... Please help.
Please can you give me the name and number of your pain doctor as I am in great distress and in need of a replacement pain management Dr. {edited for privacy}. Thank you so very much.
Hey Tara,
I used to go to pain management about 4-5 years back. Did meds, spinal injections, all of that fun stuff. I'm in the Scranton area. I just haven't been back to a doctor in a few years. I think the pain coupled with my anxiety has just caused me to feel helpless. When you have different doctors/chiros giving you conflicting opinions, it gets super frustrating. Tried a new PCP back then, but the office was extremely unorganized and the Dr. just seemed like he had no interest in helping me. Said he "wasn't allowed" to look at my most recent MRI at the time. That was a first. Ever since, I've just been dealing with it on my own. So defeating though. I've just felt very depressed and helpless. It's affected me not just physically, but emotionally, mentally, socially. I know the simple answer is "Go to a Dr." but I guess I've just been feeling like I will not get the help I need. I'm sure I need to be back in a pain management setting at some point, as most doctors won't prescribe pain meds for those who are actually suffering. Then you have people who get them, and they sell their meds. I've been dealing with this pain in some form for about 10-12 years, and I'm young. It's started to spread into my upper back/shoulder, and has gotten progressively worse rather quickly over the past few months. I know I need to get back to a doctor for another opinion, just feel like I'm playing roulette with actually finding one who will show compassion and help me get on the right track to treating my pain. I could go on forever about my experiences with doctors, my symptoms/diagnosis, etc. I see you mentioned you have an appt coming up? I hope that goes well for you. Living in pain is no way to live. It's a shame, and wouldn't wish it upon my worst enemy.
Hi Swish, have u ever been treated by pain management meds? They are a life saver, literally! Unfortunately so many have been a victim to major addiction. I took my meds responsibly. But i believe my Dr turned out to be crooked influenced by the money in it. I had no choice but to go on suboxone treatment otherwise my body would have went into opiate withdrawal (been on opiates 8 plus years). Drs are scared to write narcotics anymore and its very unfair to patients that truly/medically need the meds for quality of life. I want to find another pain management Dr but refuse to call every Dr in the area looking for one that will write opiates. That just seems crazy to me. My PCP Dr knows whats going on with me and I have an appt with her next week, hopefully she will refer me. I'm on a very low dose of sub, now it doesn't help the pain in my joints, fingers, back or knee. Are u seeing a Dr now for ur condition? Are u looking for 1? What area do u live? Wishing u well.
I'm so sorry to here about your husband. My mother got ovarian cancer at the age of 47. She suffered terribly and passed away unfortunately 18 1/2 years ago in my arms. I know how your feeling & what you are going through. I know a great doctor that you can go to. It is not the doctor my mother went to but my dad did and he is doing great. His name is Dr. Arthur Myers & He is located at the Henry Cancer Center at Geisinger Hospital in plains , PA
I feel ya Tara. The depressing cause by chronic pain is awful. I'm a shell of who I was. I suffer through work for 8 hours, and by the time I'm done, I'm so physically/mentally/exhausted that all I want to do is lay down. I'm hoping to find a solution soon. It's awful living like this.
Hi All, hopefully found some good info here , so thank u for that. My story; i have spinal stenosis, fibromyalgia, no cartilage in my knee, herniated discs and something new going on in my neck & shoulders. Have been w/ pain mngt for 8 years, unfortunately my NJ pain dr lost his licence 9/2016 for whatever reason..his staff said DEA would not allow him to give referrals-which is BS & inhumane!! I was forced to go to suboxone dr, been on sub for 7 months, it did help with my pain some, but now im on such a low dose & my pain in in full force. Cant stay on sub forever says Dr, and i really dont want to bc i dont get as much relief as i did w pain mangt. All i do is lay around bc i feel horrible.....depression is really started to get bad....sigh. going to try some of the info found on this forum. I live in Stroudsburg & have no problem traveling to WB/Scranton or Allentown area. Also not sure how to get all my records from previous Dr hes just gone! Thanks for reading my saga amd god bless us all.
Good afternoon, would it be possible for you to help me, with the Dr's tel and address.My husband is in hospital at the moment fighting liver cancer and being I am his only family, I am always with him and don't have time to search for another Dr. at the miment.It would be greatly appreciated
Does anyone have any experience with Urgent Care type clinics? I'm currently starting from scratch and during my research on their website, they seem to offer pain management services. I'm thinking about trying it out, but haven't decided. Either that or starting with a new primary care doctor (hopefully more testing). Also curious as to how much a co-pay might be for a clinic. If anyone has any personal experience, it'd be appreciated.
Sorry that's supposed to say 160 mg of Morphine and 15 mg of Roxicodone 4x a day... SORRY MY FRIENDS
Nikki, I've been reading your posts and tried a doctor that was considered one of the top 10 prescribers for pain medications in PA after googling which doctor prescribes medications and NOT GIVES BACK INJ'S., (won't mention which pain meds and location of the doctor). Well I left the office pissed cause he decreased my dosage and pill amount, he prescribed me 10mg and only 45 tablets and the doctor I use to see prescribed me 15mgs and 150 tablets for the last 3 1/2 years and now that office closed cause the PA had to move out of state. These pain doctors are so frustrating now a days. Decreasing the dosage and pill amount will cause withdrawals. I wanted to call this doctor a complete oblivious *****! Anyhow, I live in South Central Pennsylvania and would like to know if you (or Carmine) have any suggestions on a GOOD HELPING UNDERSTANDING PAIN MANAGEMENT DOCTOR? Medications are the only thing that helps so I can continue to work at my job. Thanks if you can help...
My pain management doctor has actually told me to try and find a new Doctor who is willing to give me the medication that I need. I had been on 460 milligram pills of morphine sulfate a day and for 15 milligram oxycodone or oxycodone a day. I have had 3 surgeries on my back all which were unsuccessful to laminectomies and one spinal fusion which I now have two titanium screws and plates in my back. My spine is covered and I have arthritis. I have RSD spinal stenosis something called arachnoid doses or arachnoiditis, I always forget how it's spelled. I have so many different problems and my back stemming from a car accident when I was 17 and I just turned 47 on March 18th. He has basically cut me down like 75%. He tells me if he were older which he is only 51 he wouldn't care and he would continue to write me these scripts cuz he would not care that he was coming to the end of his medical career and wouldn't care if they took his license but since he's only 51 he has plenty of time left and he is very conservative. He tells me how bad he feels for me and knows I desperately need this medication. I am now in a scooter because I can barely walk and have taken to my bed because of the cut downs of this medication. I am in constant pain and cry everyday. I am now down to 2 30 milligram morphine and 310 milligram Roxicodone. I cannot live like this. That pain is so overwhelming at times I honestly don't know what to do. If you could share with me the name of your doctor I would love to make an appointment and see if they can help as my doctor said he would give any doctor I speak to all the information they need and even recommend that they up the dosage that he is giving me now because I desperately need it. Thank you so much my friend and I hope you are getting the relief you need too. Any help would be a lifesaver.
Nikki
How are things going with the doc I sent u to... you know the drunk doc u spoke bout lol.. at my last appointment I had enough with the 20s and I finally said to him he needs to give me 20s 6x a day if he's not gonna put me on what I was on n he says to me have u ever been on 30s.. I almost feel off the exam table I was on them for 6 yrs I asked him did u even look at all my paperwork I brought in and he just stood there confused and uped me to 30s. Smh it's like he never looked at all my paperwork...
Hello I'm new to the reading area and I am in need of a doctor that will prescribe oxycodone 30 mgs. I'm willing to travel. {edited for privacy}. Please let me know if u can help. It would be greatly appreciated. Thank u.
Swish33,
There's no way to exchange personal email messaging any longer on this site. Additionally no one is going to share the identities of their prescribers because unfortunately we've learned through painful experience by referring those to our prescribers often times they are deluged with seekers. For most of us it's trial and error finding the doctor that fits our needs best.
Nikki, I have a question for you about 2 options I'm weighing that I think you may be able to help me with. Can you send me your email somehow? Would rather not have it be a public discussion. I'd appreciate it greatly as I'm finally giving another shot to managing my pain, which started 10+ years ago (and I'm still young). Hope to hear from you
@Tootles (post #415),
F***ing gross. A dr at a pain center unzipped his pants and put you on a table to check out your spine. Something doesn't seem right about that lol. Do your own research on Google and find your own doctor in your area that perscribes, ask around. Don't be a perv on this page, there was no reason to even bring that up.
Could you guy's please help me out to the name of the Dr. Or Dr.'s your seeing.My Doctor lost his liscense so I can't see him anymore.I take 15's I have severe stenosis in my back a ruptured disk in my neck and multiple other problems.I go to a pain center but I just don'like or trust the Dr. Please,Please if you guy's could help me out I would really appreciate it.The first time the Dr. At the pain center did was when he put me on the table to check me out was unzip his pants.
